RISING DEMAND FOR ENERGY Primary energy use expected to grow 40% by 2025, with 93% of growth to come from developing world economies. By 2025, global oil demand is predicted to be 60% greater than today Annual rate of oil consumption growing swiftly in China (+7.5%) & India (+5.5%) PARADIGM SHIFT Fossil fuel energy sources are diversifying and becoming more efficient in light of peak oil concerns Many of OPEC nations, including Saudi Arabia, are already pumping oil from known post peak fields Once field has peaked, rate of decline is dramatic and can be as much as 10%/year UNCONVENTIONAL OIL Big Oil conglomerates shifting focus to shale gals, natural gas, tar sands and deepwater offshore fields Billions invested every year to develop unconventional sources of fuel New horizontal drilling techniques are revolutionizing natural gas industry

By 2025, the world will need 25% more water than is currently available Water scarcity is an economic constraint in major growth markets such as China, India, Indonesia, Australia and the Western United States By 2025, per capita water availability in water-stressed Gulf region will likely decrease by 50% AGRICULTURE/ENERGY/WATER NEXUS Nearly 70% of global water consumption is used for agricultural irrigation. In developing nations, this can be as high as 90% Global agriculture wastes approximately 60% of the 2,500 trillion liters of water it uses every year Dangerous aquifer depletion occurring in major agricultural centers
